A mutated virus has changed the world's population into bloodthirsty creatures. Trying to survive every night, he is looking to find a cure for the pandemic. The movie is based on Richard Matheson's novel of the same name , which was written 1954.

One of the cars he will use in Manhattan is the new Shelby GT500 from Mustang. This car looks really pretty nice.
